The difference in the proportion of males and the proportion of females that smoke is 0.08

<h3>Missing information </h3>

In a sample of 61 males, 15 smoke, while in a sample of 48 females, 8 smoke.

<h3>How to determine the proportion difference?</h3>

The given parameters are:

                             Male           Female

Sample                  61                  48

Smokers               15                   8

The proportion is calculated using:

p = Smoker/Sample

So, we have:

Male = 15/61 = 0.25

Female = 8/48 = 0.17

The difference is then calculated as:

Difference = 0.25 - 0.17

Evaluate

Difference = 0.08

Hence, the difference in the proportion of males and the proportion of females that smoke is 0.08

Find a polynomial with a degree of 3 and zeros -3,3,5
Aliun [14]

Answer:

f(x) = x³ - 5x² - 9x + 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = a, x = b are the zeros of a polynomial, then

(x - a), (x - b) are the factors and f(x) is the product of the factors.

Here the zeros are x = - 3, x = 3 and x = 5, thus

(x + 3), (x - 3) and (x - 5) are the factors and

f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 3)(x - 5) ← expand the first pair of factors using FOIL

     = (x² - 9)(x - 5) ← distribute

    = x³ - 5x² - 9x + 45

A large container holds 8 gallons of water. It begins leaking at a constant rate. After 32 minutes the container has 6 gallons l
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1 gallon every 16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If after 32 minutes the container has 6 gallons left that means it has lost 2 gallons of water. So we now divide the 32 minutes by the 2 gallons of water to get that 1 gallon of water leaks every 16 minutes.

Leo wants to paint a mural that covers a wall with an area of 300 square feet. The height of the wall is 1/3 of its length. What
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Length = 30

Height = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the area = height * length. We know that the height of the wall is 1/3 of its length. This gives us another formula which is  h=\frac{1}{3} l

Now substitute this into the formula, while knowing that the area is 300.

So we have 300 = \frac{1}{3}l * l

Solving for l gives us 30 and then substituting it back into the equation

h = \frac{1}{3} l, will give us that the height is 10.

Hope this helps
